Built in 1969, the property shows signs of a mid-2000s renovation (approx. 15-25 years ago) rather than recent updates. The kitchen features dated fluorescent box lighting, older white appliances, and 2000s-era stone countertops. Bathrooms and living areas show older tile and gold-framed shower enclosures. While well-maintained and functional, the finishes are dated and will eventually require modernization to match the 'legacy' location.

The 2,200 sqft primary residence features rare, non-replicable panoramic ocean views and a third-story deck, providing a luxury living experience that is difficult to find in multi-unit properties.
With only a 2-car garage serving three units, parking may be a challenge for residents and guests in a high-density beach community where street parking is often restricted.
